Chinese General Zhang
Zhizhong’s plan to push the Japanese out of Shanghai and capture the vital
Hueishan docks was working. 87th Division had burned huge gaps in the Japanese
lines by using kindling on an enormous scale and 36th Division was pouring
through, spearheaded by the 1st Light Tank Battalion. As they neared the Huangpu
River, the Chinese forces began to encounter large warehouses where supplies
and ammunition had been unloaded and stockpiled, and these fortified structures
were fiercely defended by Japanese rear area labor troops.
